For My Family, My Club, My Community, My Country, and My World. 4-H is An informal, practical, learn-by-doing educational program for youth. It helps them establish real-life goals and become competent productive citizens. And they have fun in the process!

Spirit of 4-H The emblem is a four-leaf clover of green with a white H on each leaf. The leaves of the clover represent the whole self: head, heart, hand, and health. The clover has long been a symbol of well-being. It reminds the member that throughout life, he-she can grow and can choose to continue to achieve. To live is good; to manage one s life well is a gift and an accomplishment. The colors are green and white. Green symbolizes life, growth, and creativity; white symbolizes purity of wholeness. 4-H Parents Pledge We as 4-H Parents, Pledge our Heads to help our youngster plan their projects wisely, Our Hearts to constant encouraging, Our Hands to help them reach their goals, Our Health to keep them strong and well, for their family, their club, their community, their country, and their world.
